My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 72 - 42: I’ve Never Seen Such a Badass Empress
"Xiao Si is already a full month old and can meet people now. Let’s find a time tomorrow, I’ll take you to meet her."
Xiao Si?
Fourth Miss?
Yin Shuang was puzzled as to why he would deliberately want to take her to see Fourth Miss, but she nodded in agreement nonetheless.
"Yes, but I am afraid I might scare Fourth Miss."
She slightly lowered her head and reached up to touch the silver mask on her face. Although the mask was beautifully made, it was different from a human face. Since the baby was still young, if she got scared, Yin Shuang would feel guilty, and the lady might mind as well.
"It’s alright, Xiao Si won’t be scared."
Speaking of Yun Wanqing, Yun Zhan smiled gently. His little Xiao Si, with memories from a past life, was no ordinary person. How could she be scared by a small silver mask?
Besides, from her inner thoughts, it seemed she also greatly liked Yin Shuang. Seeing Yin Shuang in person would surely make her very happy, and then... mm.
"Alright."
"Mm."
At night, Yin Shuang held a Luminous Pearl and gently pushed the door open to enter.
Seeing that his quilt was well-covered and everything seemed normal, she turned to leave, but suddenly a low sigh came from behind her.
"I’ve told you many times, to sleep well at night and not to do these things. Why do you always forget?"
Yin Shuang turned around, lowered her head, and respectfully said, "It’s my duty to keep watch at night, but I didn’t mean to wake you, Seventh Young Master. I will be more careful next time."
"Hah!"
Yun Zhan chuckled in exasperation. He sat up, looking at her intently in the dim light.
"What’s so good about being a maid? Why are you so persistent?"
What’s so good about being a maid?
What’s so good about serving others?
"Seventh Young Master saved my life, I should repay the favor."
Yin Shuang still kept her head down, her expression slightly dimmed.
Being a maid was not desirable, but it was her only reason to stay in the Yun Family, to stay by his side.
"Come here."
His unemotional voice reached her ears, and Yin Shuang almost without hesitation, took a step forward to stand before him.
"What does the Seventh Young Master wish to instruct?"
Her wrist was suddenly grabbed and Yun Zhan pulled her forcefully, making her sit on the bed. He turned her body towards him, and their eyes met, his gaze deep and intense.
"Yin Shuang, if I were to die, what would you do?"
Yin Shuang frowned tightly and immediately refuted, "No, the Seventh Young Master will surely have smooth sailing and live a long life."
"Heh," he chuckled softly, reaching out to caress her head, "Just answer my question."
"I’ve already answered, the Seventh Young Master will not die."
She would never allow it.
"You know, that’s not the answer I want."
He looked at her with a burning gaze, sighing lightly.
Yin Shuang’s expression momentarily scattered, "Then, I don’t know what I would do. I’ve never thought about this question."
Perhaps she would go insane. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Or, it might depend on how he died. If it were from natural causes, there would be nothing she could do, but if someone harmed him, she ought to utterly destroy whoever did it.
She really didn’t know.
"Why is the Seventh Young Master suddenly asking me this question?"
Could it be...
Yin Shuang suddenly looked up at him, her eyes full of tension.
"I’m fine, really, just asking casually."
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Yun Zhan’s mood improved a bit. He paused, then slowly said, "Yin Shuang, do you perhaps have feelings for me?"
Bang~
It was like a sudden clap of thunder on a clear day, a flash of panic quickly flitted across Yin Shuang’s heart. Her fists clenched unconsciously, but her expression remained calm, betraying no hint of her emotions.
"I dare not."
Dare or not?
Yun Zhan’s heart sank, very dissatisfied with this answer.
"Are you deliberately trying to anger me? Tell the truth."
"I am speaking the truth."
"Alright, I get it. You can go sleep now. Remember not to come at night anymore. When you don’t sleep well, neither do I."
Yun Zhan released her, instructing her plainly.
Before her, for many years he didn’t have a personal maid because he disliked having his sweet dreams interrupted.
"Yes, I will remember."
Yin Shuang’s hands clenched tightly.
The following day.
As soon as she got up, she saw two young maids standing in the courtyard, and her brows furrowed slightly.
"Greetings to Miss Yin Shuang."
The two young maids quickly and respectfully greeted her when they saw her.
"Have you come here for something?"
In Qing Garden, apart from delivering messages and on designated cleaning days, it’s rare to have maids coming and going. Today, she wondered why this was happening, could it be~
Suddenly thinking of something, Yin Shuang’s eyes darkened, her heart sinking.
"Replying to Miss Yin Shuang, the Seventh Young Master has assigned us to serve by your side in the future."
Hearing this, Yin Shuang was slightly taken aback, then breathed a sigh of relief.
"I can take care of myself, perhaps you two should return."
